Depaul University

Guided by the university's 2018 strategic plan and its mission statement, the Office of Mission and Values collaborates with university departments and constituencies in ways that measurably enhance their understanding and support of DePaul University's distinctive Catholic, Vincentian, and urban identity. Together we provide the leadership that enables the university to achieve excellence in its educational mission, serve its diverse student body, and maximize its strategic capacities. As the premier international resource for Vincentian studies, the Office also serves a wide range of external constituencies who seek to deepen their engagement with Vincentian history, spirituality, and service.

About

History

With just 70 students when it was founded in 1898, DePaul has grown to become the nation’s largest Catholic university. DePaul, named for St. Vincent de Paul, has maintained its commitment to serve students who might otherwise be denied a quality education, from turn-of-the-century women and returning veterans to first-generation, low-income city residents.

Education

With our status as the largest Catholic University in the country and our location in the Midwest’s largest city, it’s not surprising that a diverse body of undergraduate students comes to DePaul from throughout Illinois and across the nation.

We offer more than 100 graduate and doctoral degree programs — with flexible options to take courses at night, during the day or online.

Research

Research at DePaul takes you beyond knowledge-building in the classroom to knowledge-discovery across campus, in city of Chicago, and beyond. And research here isn’t just for faculty and graduate students. Our faculty is dedicated to providing undergraduate research opportunities across all 10 colleges.

Career

Career Advisors can assist you with choosing a major, identifying career options and trends in a particular field, deciding whether to attend graduate school, developing a resume, preparing for the interviewing process, negotiating a compensation package, making a career change and more.

Many organisations offer scholarships or grants. Some of these might help you to study for a Master at Depaul University!

Services

Student services

Housing services

The Department of Housing Services provides facilities and services that create the premiere residential experience at DePaul University. Grounded in DePaul University’s Vincentian values and distinguishing marks, staff of the department of Housing Services administer the processes for living on campus and partner with others in promoting this experience. We strive to provide exceptional services within our high-quality, residential facilities while also encouraging residents’ personal growth and community responsibility.

Library services

Students can access course reserves using their campus connect credentials for any course in which they are currently enrolled in from our Ares Course Reserves site. Image reserves are available in ARTstor, and students can access materials from on campus, and from off campus using their campus connect credentials.

ICT services

DePaul classroom, lab, and office computer models have standard software installed for use by faculty, staff, and students. In addition to the standard software already installed on University computers, DePaul has also licensed other software titles for employees to use on DePaul-owned computers.

Medical services

The DePaul Student Health Service is offered through Presence SAGE medical group. It is available to all enrolled students for a fee. If you live in a residence hall, with the exception of 1237 West Fullerton or University Center, you are automatically enrolled in DePaul Student Health Services.

Student Life

Campus life

Chicago itself is an ideal classroom, filled with learning and service opportunities, and many DePaul connections. Rather than isolating ourselves to one corner of the city, we take full advantage of the region. Four campus locations give students the convenience of attending class near work or home — even on the weekend. You can also access your education from home, via online learning.
